Section VII Clerical Employment

Wen Jie thought about it and it seemed that this was true. He looked back at the generals, and the generals lowered their heads. They had been in Wancheng for many years and had defeated Cao's army several times, but they were all partial generals. For example, a general like Cao Hong. You must know that although Cao Hong has a high status, he cannot rank in Cao's camp. Not to mention Zhang Wenyuan and Le Wenqian, even among ordinary generals, he would have to rank in the back of the list. But this time it was different. Cao's army was full of elite troops and was fierce. I am afraid that he would not give up until he took Jingzhou.

How could people like me be their opponents? Otherwise, I might as well surrender. Don’t make a fuss like Xia Wei from Ye County. He died and was destroyed in the city, and finally the city was slaughtered. When they thought of the massacre, they couldn’t help but worry that although their relatives were in the manor outside Wancheng, their concubines were all in Wancheng, and the money they had accumulated for many years could not be the spoils of Cao’s army.

Wen Pin looked at the flashing eyes of the generals, knowing what they were thinking, but he didn't stop him. He played with the celadon tea cup in his hand and looked at the map silently through the floating water vapor. The generals looked at each other, not knowing what medicine he was selling in the gourd, and didn't know what to say for a while.

The water vapor gradually faded, the tea slowly became cold, the map twisting in the water vapor gradually stabilized, but Wen Pin's eyes gradually blurred.

Wen Jie wanted to speak, but because Wen Pin had just spoken something, he couldn't help but feel a little timid. He glanced at Wen Xiu, who had been standing behind Wen Pin with a knife, squeezed his eyes, and nodded at Wen Pin, signaling him to find out.

Wenxiu's adopted son was originally a small branch of the Wen family in Wancheng. Wenxiu married for many years and had not given birth to a child, so he adopted him to continue his family business. However, after Wenxiu came, Wenxiu gave birth to his son Wen Dai, and since then, Wenxiu became unnecessary. However, Wenpi did not treat him badly. He has been keeping him by his side for many years. He is not inferior to his biological son Wen Dai, and he trusts him very much.

Wenxiu hesitated for a moment, reached out to change Wenpin's cup of tea, and then took the opportunity to whisper in Wenpin's ear: "Father, I heard that Liu Jingzhou is seriously ill. The Cai family and the Kuai family have always disliked the eldest son. You said..."

Wen Pin raised his hand to stop Wen Xiu and continued to speak. He stood up and looked at the generals: "Liu Jingzhou is still there, so don't think too much. Even if Liu Jingzhou is really gone, no matter which young man succeeds, we are all from Jingzhou. This Wancheng... is still Wancheng of Liu Jingzhou." He glanced coldly, "I know you are worried about your family. I have hundreds of people in Wancheng. You should take good care of your own people. If you don't have my orders, those who are indiscriminately motivated our army, don't blame Wen Moudao for not accepting others."

When the generals heard this, they immediately fell silent. Wen Pin let out a long sigh, lifted his battle robe, and retreated to the back hall. Wen Jie winked at Wen Xiu, and Wen Xiu understood and hurriedly followed him in.

"Father, if you want to confront Cao Cheng, should you send your mother and the others out first?"

"Zi Lie, stop talking. I know everything you think. Cao's army surrounded Wancheng and could not even send the scouts out. How can we send people out? They are worried about their family, and I am not a straitor. How can we not worry about their family?" Wen Pin sighed and sat down dejectedly: "It's just that Liu Jingzhou has given me the heavy responsibility. The situation is not clear. How can I be such an ungrateful person? Isn't there a three-day deadline? Let them do their own things first and wait for three days before talking about them."

"No!" Wen Xiu was overjoyed and hurriedly gave a gift and walked out of the back hall.

Wen Pin watched Wen Xiu leave, and stroked the knife on his waist with some loss. The knife was given to him by Liu Biao when he sent him to Wancheng.
